A teeny ever after...

With smoky eyes full of secrets so cryptic,
She sang of lands distant and exotic
Light was her step and of skin she was fair,
Her lilt breathed life into the air
For all the brilliance of her beauty,
Strange was the tale of her destiny

A prince he was, with valor and grace,
Haunted by a quest he struggled to chase
He slept with the image of her in his thoughts
It was her visage that by day he sought
Scour as he may, of her there wasn't a trace
Little did he know that against time was his race

Frozen in an enchanted world of dreams
Her only companions were the the hills and the streams
Only in his dreams could she guide him along
And all she had to say could solely be a song
Through each other they will find happiness and peace
But his time will be up at the last light of solstice

The signs in her songs to him were mystic
As the sands of time trickled, his search grew frantic
When the dreams seemed bleak giving him plenty of grief
Hope shimmered again as he stumbled upon a pixie full of mischief
With impish cunning yet a heart so tender
The faerie creature found a trail to this world of splendor

As the sun crept low on the day of solstice
The prince rushed along to keep his promise
As he found his quest just in the nick of time
There she stood in front of him sublime
As the first streaks of grey colored the sky
Hand in hand they bid the li'l pixie good-bye
